SYSTEM FOR MONITORING OPERATION OF A LOCOMOTIVE
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring operation of a locomotive, the system comprising:
- a plurality of cameras strategically mounted to the locomotive, each of the cameras configured to capture a video stream of an environment associated with the locomotive; and
a controller remotely disposed from and communicably coupled to the plurality of cameras over a wireless network, the controller configured to receive a plurality of video streams from the plurality of cameras; and
at least one graphical user interface (GUI) communicably coupled to the controller, the GUI configured to display the plurality of video streams received at the controller, wherein the controller is operable for modulating operating parameters of the locomotive based on the environment associated with the locomotive, as determined from the one or more video streams transmitted by the plurality of cameras.

Abstract
A system for monitoring operation of a locomotive includes a plurality of cameras, a controller, and at least one graphical user interface (GUI). The cameras are strategically mounted to the locomotive such that each camera is configured to capture a video stream of an environment associated with the locomotive. The controller is remotely disposed from and communicably coupled to each of the cameras over a wireless network. The controller is configured to receive a plurality of video streams from the plurality of cameras. The graphical user interface (GUI) is communicably coupled to the controller. The GUI is configured to display the plurality of video streams received at the controller. In embodiments disclosed herein, the controller is operable for modulating various operating parameters of the locomotive based on the environment associated with the locomotive, as determined from one or more video streams transmitted by the cameras.

12. A computer-implemented method for monitoring operation of a locomotive, the method comprising:
-
mounting a plurality of cameras onto the locomotive; capturing, by at least one camera, a video stream of an environment associated with the locomotive; transmitting wirelessly, by a transceiver, the video streams from the plurality of cameras to a controller; and modulating, at the controller, one or more operational parameters of the locomotive based on the environment associated with the locomotive, as determined from the one or more video streams transmitted by the plurality of cameras to the controller. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
